Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 jalapenos (12 halves)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup black beans
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • 1/2 cup monterey jack cheese (shredded)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cut the jalapenos in half and take out the seeds (use gloves or wash your hands with soap directly afterwards).
  • In a bowl, mix together the quinoa, black beans, and corn.
  • Scoop the quinoa mixture generously into each jalapeno half. I found that using a spoon to shape a mound works best.
  • Place the poppers on a baking sheet (with a few inches between each of them) and then bake for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, sprinkle cheese on top of each popper and then place back in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Allow poppers to cool for 5 minutes and then serve immediately.
